The only 'notable year' whisky purchase I made was the distiller's 1993 edition of Talisker, as that was the year me and my wife met. Whereas regular Talisker finishes with a smoky note, the 1993 finishes with more a dried fruit hit.

This is my very favourite malt.

SP - Did Edradour and Speyside a couple of months ago. Good fun. We still have some left over Edradour Cask Strength that is lovely.

Did you manage to book at The Balvenie? Best 3 yours you can spend up there and worth it for the sniff of the 45 year old and the taste of the 30.

Also, if going to Glasgow get to Auchentoshan or I also recommend Glen Goyne.

I've done Balvenie in the snow. I was the only person on the tour with the old distillery manager. Awesome day.

So far visited Edradour (tiny, independent, twelve-casks-a-week-output place), Aberfeldy (the core malt for the Dewar's White Label blend), Cragganmore (Diageo-owned but surprisingly unusual) and Glenfarclas (bleak, weird place).

Also stumbled across little newsagent type place in Pitlochry that is also a whisky merchant and sells countless malts at really good prices, so picked up bottles of Highland Park (12yr), Laphroaig (10yr) and some of that Hendrick's gin to go with the Edradour. Looks like I'll be pissed and broke for most of 2010.

I loved Glenfarclas - having to go down that long lane to get there. It was thick snow when we went last year. The whole place was frozen up so they gave us a free tour. Didn't you think the visitor centre was ace, with the cool wood panelled room? Glenfarclas 105 FTW.

Don't know if u saw my PM. I'm up north, hence watching the eBay auction for the Howies. I'd go to £35 posted if that's any good to you. Ta.

Isn't this the Howies jacket I'm currently watching on eBay?

Berlusconi got smacked! by diable

That was essentially a lifetime achievement award for Giggs was it not? Crazy. Cav is used to being robbed (green jersey, chance for a gold medal in Beijing) but still. A mediocre achievement in football is worth more than an exceptional achievement in every other sport? Well done Britain.

omg

I get it on my motorbike.

Cold + wind + dark + torrential rain all over my visor + oncoming headlights completely blinding me + shitty broken cats eys + NSL road. Do not like. Keep thinking I should sell it and get the (unbelievably) expensive train.

However, a lovely quiet Saturday morning sunny ride after a night shift and I think again.

Lovely. Wish I could justify the cash.

Ah, true. Mines in the bikeshed at work, or garage at home. So I can hide my shame ok.

Ah. At least there's another one on here then. We can share the shame.

No worries. Take a look if you get the chance.

I'm thinking of using one for some trails. A sort of poor mans CycloX bike.

It uses the same frame as the rest of the new Subway range I think, and they have much bigger tyres. The 28s look a bit puny in there.

I'm sure it would be OK on trails. Only thing I'm not keen on are the bars. They are WIDE.

Doesn't solve the problem of when it's locked up. Unless I stand in front of it permanently. Or leave it in the garage permanently.

The picture above and on the 'Frauds website does not do the decals justice. The pic makes the frame look almost completely black. The stickers are much whiter and more shouty in real life.

I'll have to check. The garage is currently a gauntlet of pissing rain away.

35c defo, maybe 37c. Loads of clearance.
